Genome-wide association study of genetic determinants of LDL-c response to atorvastatin therapy: importnace of Lp(a) [PDF]
We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of LDL-c response to statin using data from participants in the Collaborative Atorvastatin Diabetes Study (CARDS; n = 1,156), the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT; n = 895), and the ...

Genetic therapy for the nervous system [PDF]
Genetic therapy is undergoing a renaissance with expansion of viral and synthetic vectors, use of oligonucleotides (RNA and DNA) and sequence-targeted regulatory molecules, as well as genetically modified cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells from the patients themselves. Several clinical trials for neurologic syndromes appear quite promising.

Cellular and genetic therapies for haemophilia [PDF]
Summary. Haemophilia continues to be a prime target for a variety of gene and cell‐based therapies. Pre‐clinical successes in both mouse and dog models of the disease have been documented with a variety of approaches over the past decade, and there have now been six small clinical trials of gene transfer in haemophilia.

Genetic therapies against HIV [PDF]
Highly active antiretroviral therapy prolongs the life of HIV-infected individuals, but it requires lifelong treatment and results in cumulative toxicities and viral-escape mutants. Gene therapy offers the promise of preventing progressive HIV infection by sustained interference with viral replication in the absence of chronic chemotherapy.

Impact of HIV-1 subtype and antiretroviral therapy on protease and reverse transcriptase genotype: Results of a global collaboration [PDF]
Background The genetic differences among HIV-1 subtypes may be critical to clinical management and drug resistance surveillance as antiretroviral treatment is expanded to regions of the world where diverse non-subtype-B viruses predominate.Methods and ...
